What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment is an attempt to save a badly damaged , non restorable or infected tooth, instead of removing it. The damaged area is removed , followed by cleaning and disinfecting of the tooth (pulp). The area is than sealed with a filling material and later a crown or cap is fitted on top of it. Common reasons for the need of a root canal treatment include cracked tooth, deep cavities, infections (pus or abscess) and trauma
How are lasers employed for root canal treatment?
- For cutting hard tissues (enamel and dentin)
Enamel and dentin are penetrated for better visibility and accessibility. Lasers take longer than dental drills to cut through the enamel and dentin and reach the pulp.
- For removal of pulp
Pulp tissues are burned out and removed using soft tissue lasers
- For disinfecting the root canals
Lasers kill injection causing bacteria and pathogens present in the root canal. This protects the tooth from getting injections again.
Benefits of using lasers:
- Painless treatment:
Dentists administer local anaesthesia before starting the root canal treatment. Lasers coagulate the blood vessels and provide the same effect as that of a local anaesthetic.
- Bloodless root canal treatment:
Lasers ensure minimal blood loss during the treatment
- Minimal trauma to surrounding tissues:
Lasers are extremely precise and are directed at the working field with accuracy, in turn causing minimal trauma to surrounding tissues
